Personally, I went from shooting the Axis back to Gold Tips. The Axis seems to and reportedly loses its spine after a while of shooting them. I noticed that my groups gradually opened up over time with them. This seems to be the norm for the C2 constructed carbons from easton.

I'm surprised to see you say that the GT's are expensive when compared to the Axis. In my area, the Axis run about 70 a dozen and the GT Xt hunters run about 55-60.
